What we focus on becomes our reality.  And so it would be easy to believe the only reality is hierarchical Establishment.  They may be simply the loudest.  Some may be so busy actually doing things, as to be uninterested in self-promotion.  Or like the dolphin, working their wonders in their own world, but nonetheless exceptional examples of works of The Creator in whatever way one sees He, She, It, or Cause-And-Effect.

Realities of women’s places in history have been censored.  We probably aren’t the better for it.—

We have so much to recognize and understand about “the other”—-

“Bottlenose dolphins have highly developed cognitive skills such as self-recognition, tool using (for example foraging with a sponge in Shark Bay), learning from each other and transferring the knowledge to the next generation (culture),” Ziltener says.

“They also have a long-life history and a fission and fusion society like humans and a highly developed communication system.”

Ziltener and her team started an organization called Dolphin Watch Alliance, a nonprofit group focused on research, awareness, and conservation of wild dolphins. One focus is on protecting the animals from human threats such as unregulated dolphin tourism.²

Perspective of reality may be skewed in favor of Establishment patriarchy, in one person’s consideration.  Anecdotally one shares an occurrence that coincidentally was, unbeknownst to us, unfolding in the same afternoon as was the Texas school shooting.  Reading a book in a waiting room, a salesman was speaking on a phone.  One suggests sympathy was attempting to be promoted with a customer.  The one side of the conversation went like this….”So how’s the new baby?  Oh, that’s good to hear.  Are you getting up for those nighttime interruptions?  Ha, ha, I didn’t think so; you’re a man’s man.”

Understanding that breastfeeding may preclude male involvement, and therefore shifting even more care and responsibility to the female; still the tenor of the conversation was vaguely offensive.  This is too often the background noise of life in the USA.  Is this attitude really necessary to validate the personality of some?

This would be meaningless aside from the inordinate number of boys committing atrocities, as compared to girls.  Not that a girl or woman can’t be as dangerous, but the numbers suggest an issue to be addressed.

This is not to ignore the majority of men who are extraordinary caretakers of their children; it is to question the rhetoric of the definition.  Maybe we could celebrate the contributions that better our lives rather than joke about a type of repression based on anatomical characteristics.  In other words, a re-balance could be healthy for everyone.

And by the way, reports suggest that Obamacare premiums are scheduled to increase dramatically in 2023.  The USA still doesn’t have a universal-payer health care policy.  The for-profit disease-care industry has become far too expensive and hasn’t resulted in better health than in nations with a socialistic type of 1-payer health care policy.  

A curious case in point is suggested admittance of Sweden and Finland into NATO, both of which are socialist-style nations with universal health care, while NATO is supporting a Russia-Ukrainian military dust up in order to enforce “Western values” into Ukraine, which must include for-profit industrial disease care.  The double talk is obvious, if anyone is listening.

One can only think that we have become so indoctrinated into patriarchal double talk as to be oblivious.

Maybe we need to demand a definition of those “Western values”—–https://portside.org/2022-05-29/when-settler-society-erased-them-these-first-nations-fought-back       —

“It was like all they cared about was the money,” Tsay Keh Dene Nation member Sylvia Pierre says midway through the documentary DƏNE YI’INJETL — The Scattering of Man. Speaking about BC Hydro — the provincial electrical utility whose dam flooded her nation’s territory — she continues: “They never thought about us as human beings being there, and our needs.”

When the last registered member of the Arrow Lakes Band died in 1953, Canada declared the Sinixt “extinct.” A Supreme Court of Canada ruling from 2021 included the assertion that the nation is not in fact “extinct,” but this judgment has yet to result in the kind of recognition James is seeking from the Government of Canada.–end of portside info–

Some people advocate a return to ideas from The Founders to stay out of the conflicts of foreign nations.  This is often called isolationism by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment that benefits from imperialism.  At the same time, realities of people and sentient beings outside of the capitalistic hierarchical Establishment echelon are ignored.  We might discuss these notions.  Could this lead to some parts of our obviously out-of-balance culture?

The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
